Unknown error....------------------------------------------ 'create a watcher for each file type and hook it to the event subs Dim i As Integer For i = 0 To UBound(FileTypes) 'FileTypes is a string array with stuff like "*.doc" in the arrays ReDim Preserve Watchers(i) Watchers(i) = New FileSystemWatcher With Watchers(i) .Filter = FileTypes(i).ToString .EnableRaisingEvents = True .IncludeSubdirectories = True .InternalBufferSize = 1277592 .NotifyFilter = IO.NotifyFilters.DirectoryName Or IO.NotifyFilters.LastWrite Or IO.NotifyFilters.FileName Or IO.NotifyFilters.Size Or IO.NotifyFilters.Attributes 'add handlers AddHandler Watchers(i).Changed, AddressOf watch_changed AddHandler Watchers(i).Created, AddressOf watch_changed AddHandler Watchers(i).Deleted, AddressOf watch_changed AddHandler Watchers(i).Renamed, AddressOf watch_renamed End With Next ------------------------------------------ The error that I get is "The path is not of a legal form." and it points to the ".EnableRaisingEvents = True" line of code. The online help is generic and of no use at all. I don't get it. There is no "path" here. EnableRaisingEvents does not require a "path" argument only a boolean. Without this line, no events are triggered and the code is useless. Can somebody help me figure this one out? PLEEEEEEASE? Why do you post VB code in the C# newsgroup? Only post in the relevant
groups, "pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease". It's much more likely that you are actually getting the error on the previous line, because you have something in the array that can't be interpreted as a file mask. ljh wrote: Show quoteHide quote > Here is the code section I am getting an error on > > ------------------------------------------ > 'create a watcher for each file type and hook it to the event subs > Dim i As Integer > For i = 0 To UBound(FileTypes) 'FileTypes is a string array with > stuff like "*.doc" in the arrays > ReDim Preserve Watchers(i) > Watchers(i) = New FileSystemWatcher > With Watchers(i) > .Filter = FileTypes(i).ToString > .EnableRaisingEvents = True > .IncludeSubdirectories = True > .InternalBufferSize = 1277592 > .NotifyFilter = IO.NotifyFilters.DirectoryName Or > IO.NotifyFilters.LastWrite Or IO.NotifyFilters.FileName Or > IO.NotifyFilters.Size Or IO.NotifyFilters.Attributes > > 'add handlers > AddHandler Watchers(i).Changed, AddressOf watch_changed > AddHandler Watchers(i).Created, AddressOf watch_changed > AddHandler Watchers(i).Deleted, AddressOf watch_changed > AddHandler Watchers(i).Renamed, AddressOf watch_renamed > End With > Next > ------------------------------------------ > > The error that I get is "The path is not of a legal form." and it points to > the ".EnableRaisingEvents = True" line of code. > > The online help is generic and of no use at all. > > I don't get it.

The error is still there (even with my fix of ".doc" to "*.doc" for the filter).

SYSTEM (hence the name, right?). This is not the case. You must provide a FileSystemWatcher.Path to watch for. This also means that you must create a File"System"Watcher component for every drive (physical drives and all networked drives) that you wish to monitor.
